Matthew Rees
BUSINESS AND EDUCATION BACKGROUND:
I am a qualified accountant with more than 25 years of professional experience, including the last 15 years specialising in systems accounting. This combination of deep financial expertise and advanced systems knowledge enables me to bring a highly analytical perspective to governance and strategic decision‑making. With over 14 years of governance experience, I have held a variety of roles across the Kite community, including serving on local governing bodies as well as as also being a Trustee. This long-standing involvement has given me a strong understanding of the Trust’s values, priorities, and ambition for its academies. I currently serve as a Trustee at my son’s specialist secondary academy, where I am a Vice Chair of Trustees and also chair the Finance Committee. I am deeply committed to ensuring that every child receives an excellent education and am proud to contribute my experience to help strengthen governance across the Trust.
OUTSIDE INTERESTS:
I enjoy playing music, particularly the piano, and I currently play guitar in a band. I love baking and rising to the challenge of the weekly requests from my son of what to bake! I am also a director of my local residents association.
